Figure 2

Appearance of the gastrocnemius muscle in the ischemia-reperfusion group: loss of striation in muscle fibers, cellular swelling and necrosis (star), edema between muscle fibers and fibrosis (arrow head) (H&E staining, bar 100 μm), edema between muscle fibers (arrow), leukocyte infiltration and fibrosis, congestion in capillaries (arrow head) (H&E staining, bar 50 μm), cellular swelling and necrosis (star), edema between muscle fibers, leukocyte infiltration and fibrosis (arrow head), congestion in capillaries (H&E staining, bar 20 μm), cellular swelling and necrosis (star), edema between muscle fibers (arrow head), monocyte and macrophage infiltration (arrow), fibrosis, and congestion in capillaries (H&E staining, bar 10 μm).
